Councilman Luna mentioned that he had received calls from property owners in the

price to the people in the Las Encinas and 3-F Meadows assessment districts. He

expenditures within the street improvement projects will be awarded. Mr. Engen
commented that monies expected are approximately $85,000 for the Las Encinas area
and $41 ,400 for the 3-F Meadows areas. The final cost of the project, he concluded,
has not yet been established; once known, staff will bring back to Council all the
figures and a request for direction on how to provide for rebates to those property
owners in the district.
MOTION: By Councilman Luna, seconded by Councilman Highland to

B. PUBLIC HEARINGS:
1. GENERAL PLAN STUDY SESSION - Review of Urban Services Line policies and
possible initiation of amendments to the Land Use Element (Cont'd from 8/9/94
Council meeting to allow evaluation of cost estimates for environmental impact
report (EIR) and related expenditures)
Henry Engen provided background and the staff report. He explained that two
consulting firms have analyzed the possible range of costs for environmental review
and submitted proposals. He summarized the two proposals and estimated costs.
Before illustrating the proposed map changes, Mr. Engen reported that staff is
recommending that the suggestion to look at land uses in the Neighborhood/
Commercial and Commercial/Retail zones be pulled out of this consideration because
the Planning Commission is already engaged in that study.
Using overhead transparencies, Mr. Engen outlined the areas suggested by the Council
for possible Urban Services Line (USL) expansion. He reported that the General Plan
amendment process required would include the need to consult with the selected
environmental consultant, conduct staff analyses and refine the scope of work to
reflect direction of the Council. In addition, individuals within the designated areas
would then be notified of the process and public hearings at the Planning Commission
and City Council level will be held.
CC 10/27/94

Mr. Engen also commented that the current work program of the Community Develop-
ment Department, along with priorities established as a result of 1992 layoffs that
reduced staff by 40%, are included in the staff report. He notod that this kind of
project was not anticipated and therefore not incorporated into the departmental
budget request for the present fiscal year. Fiscal impacts, he coOtinued, include the
loss of planned revenue of $11,000 to administer the EIR programmed for the "Dove
Creek" property (south Atascadero), staff fees to date totalling $1,1000 and consultant
and additional staff costs estimated at $50-to-100,000. Council questions and
comments followed regarding the consultant proposals and EIR guidelines.
Public Comments:
Lanny Dugar, 8330 Santa Rosa Road, spoke in opposition to the proposal. He
proclaimed that the proposal smells of political ambition and circa! mvents the proper
methods to change the General Plan. He urged the Council to look towards tentative
zone changes proposed by development who will pay their way.';
Leo Korba, 10905 Santa Ana Road, stated that the proposal was a "stab in the dark".
He suggested that the Council wait until the economic analysis presently being
conducted by the consulting firm of Palmer-Koert is complete before moving forward.
He asked the Council to consider where the City will get the money to do the required
studies.
John McNeil, President of the Atascadero Homeowners' Association, and Nancy Rice,
Corresponding Secretary, read a prepared statement in opposition to the proposal (see
Exhibit A).
Livia Kellerman, 5463 Honda, expressed concern for changes in the rural atmosphere,
especially in the area of Del Rio Road. She urged the City Council not to ruin the gifts
(rural, picturesque setting and Stadium Park) of Atascadero. She a!Iso encouraged the
Council to develop Stadium Park because it will draw people to the community and
to the downtown.
Eric Greening, 7365 Valle, suggested that the proposal was an economic gamble, as
well as an abandonment of the spirit, intent and character of the General Plan.
Celia Moss, 8040 Coromar, claimed the proposal was financially irresponsible and
implored the Council to instead implement the recommendations set'forth in the
Downtown Master Plan.
O.W. Smith, 11705 Atascadero Avenue, also contested the proposal and asked the
Council instead to see to it that the City's roads are repaired.
Virigina Powers, 7505 Carmelita, read a prepared statement in, opposition to the
proposal (see Exhibit B).
CC 10/27/94
Page g 5
Ron Rothman, 1660 San Ramon Road, read a prepared statement expressing
disapproval of including the San Ramon area into study area (see Exhibit C).
Bob Powers, 7505 Carmelita, urged the Council to revitalize the downtown and seek
to fill vacant commercial property rather than pursue expanding the USL in the north
and south ends of town.
Joan O'Keefe, 9985 Old Morro Road East, read a prepared statement in opposition
(see Exhibit D).
Carol DeHart, 4035 Lobos, also expressed disagreement with the proposal and
suggested that the Council look at other ways to raise revenue.
Nancy Heiman, 10760 Colorado Road, opposed any changes to the General Plan. She
stated that the Hendrix ("Dove Creek") property in South Atascadero should remain
residential and suggested that the City buy a pool for the community instead of
spending money on the EIR and possible expansion of the USL.
Kathleen Daly, 10650 Colorado Road, submitted a prepared statement in opposition
to the proposal (see Exhibit E).
Donna Wallace, 8780 Old Santa Rosa Road, voiced support for looking at expanding
the USL and the possible rezoning of properties to enhance and encourage business.
She remarked that the City needs a long-range plan and should open its' arms to
business.
Dorothy McNeil, 8765 Sierra Vista, read a prepared statement (see Exhibit F) in
opposition to the proposal.
The Mayor called a break 8:55 p.m. The meeting was reconvened at 9:10 p.m.
Chris Anderson, 1705 San Ramon, spoke on the behalf of others on her street and
expressed opposition.
Bonita Borgeson, 4780 Del Rio Road, remarked that members of the Planning
Commission should identify themselves as a member of that body when and if they
speak at a City Council meeting. She stated that she was bitterly opposed to the
proposal to expand the USL on both ends of town because it will result in a
diminished quality of life in Atascadero. She asserted that when sewers go in density
increases. Mrs. Borgeson added that if this Council cannot find money in the budget
to give to charitable organizations, then it cannot afford to financially assist
developers.
CC 10/27/94
Page 6
Geraldine Brasher, 3202 Monterey Road, also expressed disapproval and urged the
• Council to encourage the kinds of businesses that will provide good paying jobs.
Ray Jansen, 6655 Country Club Drive, commented that each councilmember took an
Oath of Office, which implies that there are no hidden agendas and that this kind of
action could lead to talk of recall.
James Patterson, Atascadero business owner, urged the Council to listen to the
people of Atascadero and to not support a "knee-jerk solution" to the City's economic
problems.
The City Clerk read a prepared statement from citizen Marcia Torgerson opposing
proposed changes to the General Plan (see Exhibit G).
Councilman Highland reported that he had received a phone ''call from a South
Atascadero resident who is adamantly opposed to development otiher than residential
for the Hendrix ("Dove Creek") property.
---End of Public Testimony---
There being no further public testimony, Mayor Bewley closed to public hearing.
Lengthy Council discussion ensued. Councilman Johnson responded to some of the
comments from the public. He stressed the need for the community to solve
problems collectively and pointed out that some of the extensive projects the City
would like to accomplish (i.e., community pool, Stadium Park) will not enhance cash
flow. He commented that he has no intention of increasing density in a grand fashion
but noted that some change in fringe areas of town may assist in getting the City's
economy moving.
Councilman Luna remarked that the public likes the General Plan 'as it is written and
indicated that he could not support changing it. He also stated that he does not
promote the "big box store" concept for the City because this image in inconsistent
with the community character and proclaimed that there are other ways to enhance
the economy.
Councilman Highland commented that the proposed study area is far too large and far
too expensive. He asserted that the Hendrix ("Dove Creek") property on the south
end of town should be zoned commercial and is the only area in 'which he is willing
to study. He added that, for the other areas, if property owners want to make a
change, it is their responsibility to make application and pay the fees for the process.
Councilman Carden remarked that one way to entice business is to provide the proper
zoning with necessary utilities. He stated that many companies, unless the zoning is
in place, won't even look at a City as a potential site and suggested that the proposal
CC 10/27/94
Page 7
is a low-budget way to attract business and better paying jobs. He also pointed out
that any large development will still be responsible for a detailed analysis and site-
specific EIR. He argued that the intent is not to subsidize business, but rather an
attempt to invest in the City's future so that it can afford to maintain and expand the
zoo, develop Stadium Park and improve City services.
Mayor Bewley offered that he would like to take some kind of step towards revenue
enhancement, but emphasized that City finances are tight. He stated that he cannot,
at this time, support studying the north end of EI Camino Real but agreed that the
Hendrix ("Dove Creek") property should be zoned commercial because it is on the
freeway. The Mayor added that while he favors looking into re-zoning and expanding
the USL to this area, he does not generally endorse additional studies relating to re-
classifying some of the other commercial areas in town when, presently, the Planning
Commission is already looking into this matter.
Councilman Johnson suggested that the Council direct staff to secure a firm price
from the EIR consultant [SEDES] to study the south end of town only, without the
other extensions. He also proposed that a well-advertised public discussion be held
to seek community consensus before authorizing the investment of money into a
study.
Discussion ensued about the inclusion into the study area of the property east of
"Dove Creek" proposal area (Santa Barbara Road/Salinas River). Councilman Highland
reiterated that he could support looking only at the "Dove Creek" area. Councilman
Johnson agreed. Councilman Carden argued that the property east of the "Dove
Creek" site was the perfect location for an executive plaza, research park or high tech
programming business. He clarified that he is not recommending a zone change but
wants to see expansion of the USL to that area. He emphasized that major citing for
business depends on access to rail, highway and utilities. Councilman Luna argued
that taxpayers shouldn't have to pay for speculation and pointed out that much of the
infrastructure is not yet installed to support high-tech industries.
Councilman Highland pointed out that if the USL is expanded to include the "Dove
Creek" property, there will be nothing to prevent prospective developers from making
application to extend the sewer to adjacent areas in the southeast. Councilman
Johnson agreed.
MOTION: By Councilman Carden to look at the zoning change and extension
of the sewer line on the property bounded by EI Camino [Real],
[Highway] 101 , San Diego [Road] and Santa Barbara [Road]; and
to get a firmer price on what it would be to do the rest of the area
and should that be a minor part of the cost that, at that point in
time, [the Council] decide.
CC 10/27/94

Q
Discussion on the motion: Councilman Highland asked Councilman Carden to
change "sewer line" to "Urban Service Line". Councilman Carden agreed;
Councilman Highland seconded the motion. Brief discussion ensued.
Councilman Carden agreed to split his motion into two, separate motions.
Motion re-stated: Councilman Carden moved to charge staff to get a firm price
from the consultant on extension of the USL and the to-zone of what is
conventionally called the "Dove Creek" property; motion seconded by
Councilman Highland. Motion passed 4:1 (Luna opposed).']
It was clarified that "the consultant" refers to SEDES and "firm price" includes
economic and cost/benefit analyses.
MOTION: By Councilman Carden to bring back a firm price on the remainder
of the original proposal for all of the south end and north end;
motion died for lack of second.
MOTION: By Councilman Johnson, seconded by Councilman Carden to look
at what the incremental cost will be to study the extension of the
Urban Service Line to the eastern part of the remaining south end
of Atascadero; motion carried 4:1 (Luna opposed).
C. REGULAR BUSINESS: No items scheduled
D. COMMITTEE REPORTS (The following represent ad hoc'' or standing committees.
Informative status reports will be given, as felt necessary.):
1. City/School Committee - Councilman Johnson reported that the committee
agreed to carry forward recommendations to the Traffic Committee regarding
"Safe Routes to School" and discussed a program entitled, "Peer Court", which
provides for peer charges for minor offenses like graffiti.
2. County Water Advisory Board - Councilman Highland reported that the Board
meets Wednesday, November 2nd.
3. Traffic Committee - Councilman Luna reported that ',aat the last meeting of the
Traffic Committee, residents and members of local Parent Teacher Associations
indicated that they are anxiously awaiting suggested routes to school.
Councilman Luna also commented that discussion ensued regarding the lack of
an adopted policy relating to the placement of school zones, as required by
State statute. Henry Engen replied that North Coast Engineering and the City's
traffic consultant (DKS & Associates) are looking at this issue and what
prerequisite ordinances may be needed. Councilman Luna pointed out that
simply adopting Caltrans standards would not be appropriate because of the
• CC 10/27/94

c
unique nature of Atascadero streets. Other members of Council concurred.
4. Highway 41 Realignment Community Advisory Committee - Henry Engen
reported that the committee met the 15th of September and received the bad
news that the committee's chosen option for bridge design had not penciled
out. The committee attempted to scale back the plan and come up with a
bridge that will still fit with the feeling of the community. The next meeting
will be in January, at which time sketches and cost estimates will be presented,
he said. He also noted that discussion ensued regarding the placement of a
sign at the entrance of Stadium Park and Mr. Engen noted that this may be an
item for Council consideration at a future date.

STATEMENT REGARDING THE HAL CARDEN PROPOSAL
October 27, 1994
The Atascadero Homeowners Association has a record of supporting business as was
demonstrated by our endorsement of the down-town plan as well as the Factory Outlet
Center. The Atascadero Homeowners Association has always strongly supported the
General Plan of Atascadero. The Plan was only recently rewritten after
a tong review .
costly process of neighborhood meetings, public hearings and environmental
At its board meeting on September 28, 1994, the Atascadero Homeowners Association
unanimously voted to oppose Hal Carden s proposals to extend the Urban
the vicesnumber
Line, rezone large areas of residential property to commercial, to ond
of commercial designations, and to have taxpayers subsidize commercial development.
Almost as soon as he was sworn in, new Councilmember Hal Carden proposed these
drastic and expensive changes to the General Plan.
First, he wants to extend the Urban Services Line (USQ to promote large commercial
centers at the north and south ends of town. Not only will the 62 acres of the Hendrix
project property be included,but also a large amount of vaguely-described land
on hof e
north end of town east and west of El Camino and Via{will be thef 101 near leffeel lcts
this land falls under Carders rezoning propos
All property owners along the way will be forced to hook up to the sewer line
whether they need or want to. (It cost IN AND OUT BURGER$210,00 for 1,200
feet to hook up. Now his neighbors are forced to hook up to reimburse him for
part of the cost.) It will increase densities in those areas, thereby increasing
traffic on an already congested El Camino. It may require very expensive
expansion of our sewer plant.
Second, Carden wants to rezone a large area of residential land to commercial without
a Specific Plan for the land as is presently required by the General Plan. What will be
:
the effects?
Once rezoned there would be no assurance of a major center at the site. This
large parcel on the south entrance of town could be developed as anything

hodgepodge of businesses. This is in direct conflict with the recommendations of
the Economics Research Associates' Economic Base Analysis for Atascadero
• previously commissioned by the city.
The Economic Base Analysis and the Atascadero Fiscal Analysis, also commissioned b
Y Y � Y
the city, state that Atascadero has enough developed and undeveloped commercial
areas to serve the city until the year 2000. The Palmer Koert report on Promotion of
Entrepreneurship, Business Development and Job Growth discourages "the
development of additional retail acreage until the overall vacancy rate is reduced to
10% or less. Building additional retail space in the face of an ovemll vacancy rate of
16.5% is counter-productive to developing a stronger retail performance." Carden
claims the commercial development of our extremities will"hold'the retail sales in"
and will "provide traffic to revitalize the downtown." Is his prediction realistic?
Consider the effects:
Atascadero has excessive commercial vacancies from Luc ICY/s area through the
empty Riley's center all the way to the K-Mart property. There is also much
empty developed and undeveloped land on Highway 41 west. Adding big
commercial projects on the north and south will not aid theailing center of town.
Moving the Library and the Post Office out of the downtown greatly hurt it. Are
we to ignore the money and planning spent on the downtown revitalization and
hope that somehow building huge projects at both ends of town will fill the inner
. vacancies? This is a developers' and contractors' pipe-dream.
"Providing the traffic" to help the downtown is not a solution but an addition to
the problem. El Camino is already congested with traffic a� it is the only north-
south route in town except for 101 which is struggling with increased
congestion. Will shoppers tire of the traffic problems and goo elsewhere to shop?
How will this increased traffic help the downtown vacancies?
Third, Carden wants the city (the taxpayers) to pay for the staff time and the
Environmental Review for all this development. Even when developers have paid the
fees and EIR costs for their projects, the city has not had sufficient funds to provide
services without seeking other ways such as bonds and assessmeAt districts to have
taxpayers finance fire protection, police, roads, sewer, drainage aid schools. Now
taxpayers are asked to heavily subsidize commercial development as with the Factory
Outlet (costing taxpayers $92,000 per year for 20 years) and waiving the development
fee ($125,000). That was the foot-in-the-door subsidy vote by three members of the
Nimmo council. Carden wants to get deeper into our pockets. Whom is he
representing?
Fourth, Carden justifies his drastic and expensive changes to the General Plan by
claiming that it will bring tax-dollars to the city. Again, is this reelistic?
CC 10/27/94

Extending sewers and rezoning land to add to the already vacant and
undeveloped commercial property does not guarantee any development of that
land in the near future at all. However, it would achieve the speculative dreams
of a few by greatly increasing the salability and the value of that land at the
expense of the taxpayers and the surrounding residents who bought their
property with the assurance of the present zoning. Our taxes should be used to
meet the needs of the residents at large, not promote the selfish scheme of a few.
Use the taxes to repair our roads, provide the Fire Department with a desperately
needed brush engine, help the Carlton project get on its feet or assist our youth.
Fifth, Carden wants to C-ondense the number of commercial designations. What will be
the consequences?
The General Plan calls for the establishment of nodes along El Camino Real.
Nodes break up and diminish the appearance of strip development, create a
visually appealing development, separate non-compatible uses, concentrate
related uses and thereby decrease traveling needs along El Camino. Cardees
proposal would allow a hodgepodge of unrelated businesses up and down El
Camino, emphasizing the strip development and increasing traffic.
To conclude, the Atascadero Homeowners Association has given the above reasons for
its opposition to the General Plan changes proposed by Councilman Carden. These
ideas are exceedingly detrimental. The AHA recommends that Council choose a
different path that will actually result in increased tax revenues for the City. First we
need aggressive leadership to support existing businesses in Atascadero, These are the
people who have committed themselves to our community. We want to keep them
here and provide them with a stable business climate. The downtown plan needs to be
realized. If Council has spare funds it should invest in the long overdue Lewis Avenue
bridge. We also suggest that proactive planning would assist owners of vacant
buildings and undeveloped land within the presently zoned commercial areas. That
would better serve the community as a whole. Such policies would boost sales tax
revenues without such massive expenditures by taxpayers.
National indicators show that the economy is improving. There are signs on Highway
41 west that some vacancies have given way to new ventures. Let our Council assist
this inner growth and not harm it by premature development of our extremities.

I want to address the issue of the proposed expansion of
Highway 101 and north of •
the Urban Service Line west of Him y -7-Hc-
Del
N __
Del Rio Road. I have a concern)and�`question�this proposal.
To me there are two possible reasons for the expansion of
the Urban Service Line to this area. One is that this is
something that the neighborhood desires and requests or
secondly that this is something that would benefit the entire
community.
As those that would be affected most directly, I think much
weight should be given to neighborhood desires. As a
homeowner and resident of San Ramon Road for 22 years, I can
say that not only did the neighborhood not request, nor
does it desire this, but actually strongly opposes this
proposal. There are second and third generations living here;
many who have lived here longer than I. There is a reason for
the stability in this neighborhood. I won't go into those
reasons now; but simply say that if ,you are interested, come .
see what we value, talk to the residents, and get a feeling
for our desires. Our neighborhood is more than lines . on a
map.
Is this something that would benefit the community? What
this community does not need in terms of aesthetics and
quality of live or from a capacity standpoint is another
strip mall. Extending the Urban Service Line to this area
is the first step. P ��^— —' NRXRraXAXxAMx�zx
with commercial strip
development to follow to justify the cost of improvements .
Rather than focusing our limited resources on our central
business districto this continues the process of scattering
commercial with all its attendant problems . With respect
to commercisl capacity, we need look no further than our
existing malls to see that the city does not need to spend
tax dollars to open up this isolated parcel to commercial
development.

I come back to my original concern. What is driving this
Urban Service Line expansion to the west side 'of 101 at
Del RiB Road? The neighborhood does not want it. The city
does not need it. The budget cannot afford it'," The rezoning
of this propoerty was proposed in the 1992 Gen eral Plan
Update. It had no public support then, wss not recommended by
staff# and had little Council support. Now here we are again
two years later. What theory is at work here keep bringing
something up andmaybe, just maybe, you'll slip it through.
It is this type of conduct that breeds contempt and cynicsism
for government , not just far away in Washington or Sacramento,
but right here at our local city council. Prove my cynicsism
wrong. Do the right thing . Reject this proposal before we
waste tax dollars and destroy a neighborhood. '',

Staff's report says the bottom line is that this proposal is a $50 -
$100,000 project which appears to benefit and subsidize only a few major
J �
developers. It does not guarantee that it will add one viable revenue
producing business to the community. h
Its difficult to believe that thi3 audacious giveaway is before the }
Council when just 2 months ago the Council redlined requests from the
Fire Department, the police Department, the road department, and the
recreation department for, services that a city is to provide to its
residents, The non profit organizations were going to be ignored had
Councilman Luna not stopped the Council from closing the budget hearings
before taking action on their requests for a small contribution of
$10,000 -- one tenth of what will be spent if this proposal is approved.
After, G years of work the-land use element was finalized in 1992. A lot
of time and money went into the project. The recommendation to extend
the USL will reverse the position that sewer service not be provided in
suburban service areas except for "cease and desist" septic problem
areas. The sewer, system is not designed to handle the type of expansion
being considered without expensive modifications. Currently the city's
electric bill is $175,000 a year, for pumping the sewage. Interestingly
one of the four, study areas is 122 A, zoned suburban residential
consisting of i2 or, more parcel, owned by Gordon Davis and Robert
Nimmo. Mr. Nimmo of course could not have voted on this parcel if he
had proposed an extension of the USL during his tenure. During the last
election Mr. Nimmo said, "There will be charges made that this is now a

Carden. If the area is severed it will-, eligible for zoning to a higher
density--50 to Malots is a possibility from the existing lots. If the
city pays for, this program EIP, they are paying for the costs, of
increasing the value of this property. Both Councilman Carden and
Johnson have said that residential property doesn't bring in revenue so
why is this included as part of the proposal? Is this payback?
Even if the Council could guarantee that some revenue will Trickle into
the city coffers this proposal runs counter to the land use 'element and
has the potential for, changing the face of land use in the 4djacent
areas and for impacting city services tremendously.
I didn't know when Councilman Johnson made reference to priming the pump
that he intended to fill the tank of few developers. .

Atascadero� City Council
From Dorothy F. McNeil
Subject :. Carden proposals to change the General Plan ;
I grew up pro-business. My father started and owned 4 depart-
ment store for many years in Missouri. My mother borrowed money
and started her own business in Oklahoma before she ever met
my father. She paid off the loan within one year.
If I presently owned a business or business propertyin Atasca-
dero, had secured the money myself to start the business or to
build on my commercial property, I would have some grave questions
for the previous council majority and for the present one. Why are
you being so unfair? You did not make the taxpayers loan me money
for my business nor did you make them pay my building development
fees. Now you are asking taxpayers to foot the bill to bring in
large competitors who may well put me out of business or who will
make it impossible for me to get a fair return on the commercial
property I own. And don't say it won't happen. Atlantic magazine
reported the devastation to local business in city after city
across the country as the Walmarts moved in.
The foot-in-the-door tactic of subsidizing some favored few developers
began with the Nimmo council and is costing the taxpe.yers $92 ,000
per year for 20 years and another $125,000 to forgive the develop-
ment fee for the Factory Outlet.
Now it appears that perhaps Mr. Nimmo, along with a handful of
favored property owners, may be on the receiving end of another
forced handout from the taxpayers whoare being asked to pay for the
ESR which previously, and rightly, ha-s,been required of the developer.
It is axiomatic in our capitalistic system that supply and demand
are related. If there is an overabundance of something--be it wheat ,
oranges, houses or commercial property-- the price to buy or rent
will go down. If there is a scarcity, the price goel up. Supply and
demand. This council , which presents itself as pro-business, should
understand those words.
Studies ordered by past councils show we still have ' an over-supply
of commercial property. 'There is a 16.5% vacancy rate of that
property. How can Mr. Carden possibly ask taxpayers to spend
X100,000 to help create more commercial property? This proposed
$100,000 handout is just another step in the direction of welfare
for a select few developers .

One last question for council. Do you really believe our town
can maintain its uniqueness, can take advantage of its gorgeous
scenery and rural appearance by becoming another stenotype?
Why would any tourist stop for another Costco, Walmart , Target
or other warehouse store? Such stores are becoming as common-
place and ordinary as the twin arches. If you want plastic city
with a dead downtown, go along with Hal Carden.
I think a truly pro-business council would support the business
we have, endeavor to fill the vacancies, and would spend our
limited tax dollars to follow through on the downtown plan.

CITY CLERK'S OFFICE
Atascadero City Council
Gentlemen:
I am very concerned about the possibility of the City Council making major changes
to our Land Use Element for the purpose of MAYBE enticing new businesses to locate
in Atascadero. This would be like putting the cart before the horse!
The actions you are being asked to initiate tonight will come ata high cost to this
City's taxpayers. The implied focus seems to be on developing commercial property
with retail establishments. Instead of spending enormous amounts of City monies on
EIR's etc., why doesn't the City spend its' money on seeking out businesses that
could offer the citizens of Atascadero good full-time jobs with benefits; rather than
retail which has provided part-time - minimum wage - no benefits''jobs. Seek out the
businesses that offer careers for our citizens and find out what we can do to make
Atascadero appealing to them. THEN, depending on their requests, we can consider
initiating changes, if necessary.
Our General Plan is an important document. Those who were involved in writing it
put a lot of thought into what Atascadero needed. Please think Icing and hard before
you decide to make changes to our General Plan.
Sincerely,
Marcia McClure Torgerson

To qualify for these funds the PS&E for the bridge portion must
be approved for advertising by the Division of Structures. PS&E
must be completed within three years from the date of this
letter. Up to four additional months will be allowed when a
Consultant agreement is involved.
A cost effective test for low volume traffic sites, '' adopted by
the HBRR Steering Committee, requires projects with ',!ADT less than
200 to have a resolution passed by the Legislative Body of the
Local Agency that finds by specific examples:
• The bridge is very significant to the local economy and/or,
• The bridge is critically needed for emergency access and/or,
• The bridge is required for school transportation and/or,
• The bridge is needed for very significant local needs.
It shall state for each finding that there is no reasonable
alternate route. A resolution must be submitted by' the Local
Agency for this project since the ADT is 100 as of 1980.
Please confirm in writing whether the City will comply with the
requirement for qualification, and whether a consultant agreement
is involved.

Resolution authorizing extension of existing agreement and applica-

Approval of attached Resolution No. 116-94.
BACKGROUND•
In September of 1993 - see attached staff reports and minutes

the Housing Authority of San Luis Obispo to make available the
Mortgage Credit Certificate Program in Atascadero. The program has

ATASCADERO CITY MANAGE
Dear Mr. Takata:
Just over a year ago we approached the various political subdivisions in the
county about involvement with the Mortgage Credit Certificate program. Through
the cooperation of the County and it's seven cities we received $8 million in
MCC allocation from the State Debt Limit Allocation Committee.
The program has proven to be very successful. To date we have issued 67 MCC
commitments representing over $8 million in real estate sales, a major economic
contributor at any time but particularly in a sluggish economy. More
importantly the average gross annual income of borrowers receiving MCC's has
been $37,177, and many of these buyers have had gross annual incomes of less
than $30,000. Obviously the program has been successful in gaining the benefits
of homeownership for lower-income households. In fact 51% of the .buyers could
not have qualified for homeownership without the benefits of the Mortgage Credit
Certificate program.
We are nearing the end of our $8 million allocation. At the September meeting of
the Board of Commissioners of the Housing Authority of the City of San Luis
Obispo staff was directed to seek an additional $10 million in allocation from
the State Debt Limit Allocation Committee and a new application is being
prepared as this is being written.
In support of the new request we need new resolutions. adopted by the
participating jurisdictions. Proposed copies are enclosed for your use. If
adopted, the new resolution would give us permission to seek the additional
allocation on your behalf and also make future requests simply dependent upon
approval of the Mayor and yourself without the need for new resolutions.
We hope the City is interested in future participation in this program and that
the resolution can be adopted by November 15, 1994, the date of the California
Debt Limit Allocation Committee's meeting when we expect to secure the
additional funding.
As in the past, if requested, I would be happy to be present at the City Council
meeting when the resolution is discussed.
Sincerely,
George J. Moylan

Through: Andy Takata, City Manager Meeting Pate: 9/28/93
From: Henry Engen 4*
Community Development Director
SUBJECT:
Resolution enabling use of Mortgage Credit Certificates by first
time home buyers within the City.
RECOMMENDATION•
Approval of attached Resolution No. 119-93.
BACKGROUND:
The Housing Authority of the City of San Luis Obispo has
forwarded an invitation for the City to pass a resolution which
would enable the Authority to make available Mortgage Credit
Certificates within the City. As the attached letter from George
Moylan indicates, passing this resolution would enable them to
act as administrator for such a program in our area ', in much the
same manner as they do for Section 8 Housing Assist4nce Programs.
As indicated in the attached materials, this would provide an
opportunity for additional financing to qualifying first-time
home buyers. There would be no cost to the City with the Housing
Authority covering their costs through fees charged 'to partici-
pants, lenders, and developers.
DEADLINE•
Although the letter indicates the need for action by committee/
staff September 21, 1993, we have been advised that ;October 1,
1993, would be the deadline for receiving a resolution from the
City Council.

Dear Mr. Takata:
The Housing Authority of the City of San Iris Cbispo is embarking on a new
program which we feel will enhance the economies of cammanities participating in
the program as well as make homeownership available to first time homebuyers who
were previously excluded from the market. A eambi.nation of low interest rates
and many available properties appears to be an excellent time to initiate this
Me prorgram is called the Mortgage Credit Certificate (Mx) program and it is
in wide-spread�; in other parts of the state where the acceptance rate hasbeen i
Mortgage Credit Certificates (NW's) were authorized by Congress in the Tax
Reform Act of 1984. In 1985 the State adopted legislation authorizing local
agencies to make the Certificates available in the State of California.
WC's prarirle %ml;fied hambuyers with a federal income tax credit %Mich
saes an individual. taxpayer Is Liability by an amount equal to the credit.
The maxi mum anmmual tax credit available is equal to 20 percent of the annual
interest pard on the borrower's mortgage. For instance if a borrower pays
$10,000 in interest during a year on their mmoa gage they have a $2,000 credit
towards their tax liability. If that liability is $2,000 for the year in
question they pay no Federal ince tax that year. The credit, 20% of the -
tgage interest paid, is available to them every year they remain as an
cxgnier-oocupant of the property in question. The credit is lost when they
refinance the property. By rect ing the borrower's tax liability, the tax credit
essentially provides additi.,oamal income wh4ch can be used for mortgage payments.
In San Dais Obispo County in 1993 the maximum purchase price of a new property
that can qualify for MOC's is $169,100, the price of existing (resale) units
mist be $120,200 or less. In order to participate in the program individuals and
fam;1;es mist have maximum annual i.names of $44,600 or less for 1 and 2 person
households and $51,300 or less for 3 or more person households. We have held
discussions with three developers of affordable housing in the County and our
occlusion is that through a ocmhinatiAcm of this program, and the lower interest
rates and purchase prises cited above, we can make homeownership available to a
G? ;f;�a*�+- number of local residents who were previously excluded fnxn the
sim gle-family market.
I am avai-lable to meet with you orof staff if additional program
is needed. W

The program is administered by the California Debt Limit Allodatiocn Committee,
and to date some 28 programs have been ap�kraved. The CotuY of Santa Clara has
had a program since 1987 and during the six years of the progujam's operation a
total of 5,745 residents of that county have used MM s.
In order to establish a program we must file an application with the Debt Limit
Allocation Committee. We are in the process of preparing that app]icatkn. We
anticipate that we will ask for $15 mi l l i m in contract qty. Such an
amrunt would make approximately 134 Mr-Is available for use by residents of San
Luis Obispo County.
The Housing Authority of the City of San Luis Obispo can and i s armritting the
City of San Tuis to the program. Ha x-ver, because of St3ate Law whi�cYn
Limits our area of operation it cannot commit your community to the program. In
this regard the situation is much the same as it exists in the Section 8
program. However, in the Section 8 program we sinply must secure from you a
Section 213 comment letter approving cur operation of that prggram in your
community. In this program a more involved approval is needed:
Specifically I am enclosing a sample of a resolution, as well as a sample
Cooperative Agreement, which mist be adopted by your ccmmu mq if it is to
Participate with us in the MSC program. We hope to have our application
considered by the Debt Limit Allocation Committee at it's October 21 meeting,
this might be that group's last meting of the year. Thus we must have the
application submitted to the Committee's staff by September 21. Obviously the
more support we can shwa in the county, via adapted resolutions, the better the
opportunity for success in securing a funding allocation.
Tb that end I will be available to meet with City Cour-UIs on an as needed
baGj s, day or nim, regular or study sessions, to attempt to'azmwer arry
questums that they or you might have.
In closing I would add that beyond the ccmmitreat to permit the program to
operate in your community there is no other action that must be taken. Our
is that in other areas of the State mu_n?cupid as and counties
have been asked to share in the cost of preparing a program app]icatioan and
administering the program. Our clecisi�on is to make no such request of the
communities we serve. Our costs will be reimbursed by fees charged to
participants, lenders and developers who desire to reserve Mm's for use in •
their developments. =

From: Steve Sylvester, City Engineer
SUBJECT:
Bid Award for the Reclaimed Water Extraction Well Pr jest, Phase 1.
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends the following:
1. Adopt Resolution No. 115-94 awarding a contract to
construct the Reclaimed Wates Extraction Well Project,
Phase 1 to Miller Drilling Company.
2 . Waive minor bid irregularities with regard to Bid Item
No. 10, Furnish and Install Annular Seal for Observation
Wells and Bid Item No. 26, 12" CPP.
DISCUSSION:
Bids were •solicited in order to construct the reclaimed water
extraction well, observation wells and well access road adjacent to
the wastewater treatment facility. Bids for th project were
opened on October 13, 1994 .
The first phase of the work involves exploratory bor hole drilling,
geophysical logging, construction of observation weds, extraction
well development and construction of a well access road. Aquifer
testing will be performed to optimize pump sizes for installation
in future phases of the project. Subsequent phase will include
the development of additional extraction wells, observation wells,
reclaimed water conveyance systems, pump systems and electrical
systems. At full build-out, the project will provide the City with
the necessary facilities to recover reclaimed wastewater from the
disposal pond system.
Senate Bill 2000 encourages (but does not mandate) the use of
reclaimed water from wastewater treatment facilities. Currently
the City is providing reclaimed water to the Chalk Mountain Golf
Course for irrigation purposes. Water from the polishing ponds at
the wastewater treatment plant is chlorinated and pumped directly
into a holding pond on the golf course.
From its inception, the use of this reclaimed water for golf course
irrigation has been encouraged by the Regional Water Quality
Control Board since it helps prevent concentration of pollutants
upgradient of the City's well field. However since 1979, the
quality of this reclaimed water has been under scrutiny by the
00002; -
RWQCB. Specifically the suspended solids in the reclaimed water
creates a condition which makes it difficult to meet disinfection
requirements as well as clogging sprinkler heads on the golf
course. The RWQCB has suggested the use of shallow groundwater
extraction wells located near the percolation ponds as a means of
protecting the existing groundwater and supplying irrigation water
to the golf course and other potential users of reclaimed water.
Recovery of all or a portion of the reclaimed water through the
installation of groundwater extraction wells located near the
wastewater disposal site will; provide a high quality reclaimed
water withoutexcesssuspended solids and the need of chlorination.
In addition, excessive algae will be absent from the extracted
reclaimed water.
The bid summary prepared by the City and the itemized bid summary
are included in this report for reference along with an excerpt
from the adopted 5-Year Capital Improvement Program. The low bid,
was submitted by, Miller Drilling Company in the amount of
$71,997.95.
The bids have been checked for completeness and accuracy. There is
an apparent clerical error with regard to Bid Item No. 10, Furnish
and Install Annular Seal for Observation Wells and Bid Item No. 26,
12" CPP. See the attached letter from Miller Drilling for an
explanation and -corrected unit prices. Staff- recommends that
Council waive this -irregularity and find Miller Drilling Company to
be the lowest responsible bidder.

City Manager
From: Henry Engen
Community Development Director
SUBJECT:
General Plan Study EI R - consideration of proposed contract with
SEDES to prepare an Environmental Impact Report for a City
initiated General Plan Amendment and rezoning (Hen(trix/Fredericks-
property) and possible extension of the Urban - Se vices Line to
include the remainder of the South Atascadero Specific Plan Area
(continued from the October 27, 1994 meeting) .
RECOMMENDATION•
Following discussion, give direction to staff relative to imple-
menting the two options provided in the SEDES work program. This
would require appropriating $25,215 for the Hendrix/Fredericks
property alone, or $37,825 with the addition of the USL extension
add-on.
BACKGROUND•
At the City Council' s meeting of October 27, 1994, Council directed
staff to negotiate with SEDES for the preparation of an Environ-
mental Impact Report to change the land use designation on the 62-
acres lying between E1 Camino Real, Highway 101, San Diego Way
and Santa Barbara Road from Suburban Residential to Commercial,
including extension of the Urban Services Line to include that
area. As a separate action, Council requested a cost estimate for
extending the Urban Services Line to the remainder of the South
Atascadero Specific Plan Area.
SEDES has submitted the attached proposal for the Hendrix/
Fredericks property of $25,215 and an additional $12, 610 for the
optional Urban Services Line off-site extension,
FISCAL IMPACT:
This project is not funded in the current budget and would require
appropriation action by the Council of either $25, 215 or $37, 825
from contingencies .

COMM�INIT�pLOpM
RE: General Plan Amendment EIR ENT
Dear Henry,
I have prepared the following work scope and fee based on City Counciil direction given at the
meeting of October 27, 1994. My understanding of the City's objectives is as follows:
❑ to analyze the environmental impacts of an Urban Services Line extension (USL) and a
zone change to commercial land use of about 62 acres, known as the Dove Creek
property.
❑ to analyze the economic impacts on downtown businesses of land$potentially rezoned to
commercial land uses.
❑ as an optional task for consideration, to analyze the environmental impacts of a USL
change (with no accompanying zone change) at the south part :of El Camino Real to
include about 150 acres of land currently outside the USL.
The EIR for the Urban Services Line change and General Plan Amendmenit/Rezone for the Dove
Creek(Hendrix) site will be a program EIR. The CEQA guidelines encourage the use of program
EIRs to allow for environmental investigations at the earliest possible'',time in the planning
process. However, Program EIRs often defer detailed environmental study to the time that
specific development proposals come forth for a particular site. In the`,absence of a specific
development proposal, the program EIR seeks to identify probably impact$ and establish general
mitigation measures as a guide to future development proposals. It maybe recommended that
many of the mitigation measures that :will be identified in the EIR will become Planned
Development standards for the property.
The following table provides a breakdown of costs for the environmental review of the Dove
Creek property alone and with the east USL change as an optional addon. These costs are
compared to our original estimates in our letter of October 7, 1994.
The fee is about the same for the basic EIR as in the original estimate. In the original proposal the
overall USL change was the basic task with the Dove Creek rezone as an aldd-on. Reversing the
emphasis increases costs for the downtown economic impacts and cost/bendfit analysis of the east
USL add-on because of the potential for industrial uses in that area, not previously identified.
This scenario also increases the level of analysis for land use impacts, growth inducement and
cumulative effects by basically adding another possible land use scenario.

Costs for the Initial Study and report reproduction would be the same as the original estimate.
Other incremental increases in costs for various study areas have occurred based on site

land use.
SAdditional meeting can be scoping session, community workshop or public hearing. Added at request of
Community Development Director.
6The drainage analysis for the areas along Halcon and Santa Barbara Roads is considerably more complex than
originally understood. This analysis constitutes$3,000 of the fee for the USL east add-on but with further scoping .
may be able to be reduced.

Work Scope
The following is a brief description of the various study topics and staffing for each. Consultants
include:
❑ Crawford,Multari&Starr
❑ Jerry Michael,Civil Engineer
❑ Keith Higgins,Traffic Engineer
Land Use
sedes -David Foote,CMS -Mike Multari
Existing and"worst-case"scenarios for land use in the USL expansion areas will be defined as a
basis for quantifying and comparing impacts under other topics(e.g.,public services, wastewater
flows, population, housing, etc.) This section will then discuss whether the potential land use
changes will cause an imbalance or shortage of one land use or another,in the City. CMS will
assist in this effort,using their familiarity with the current General Plan and issues that surfaced in
the recent update cycle.
Cumulative Impacts
sedes -David Foote and Team Members
In a program EIR the issue of the cumulative effects of a General Plan change becomes a key
topic. The analysis of all topics will address cumulative impacts using as a baseline the
projections of the General Plan update EIR.
Growth Inducement
sedes -David Foote
The change in the USL line, especially with respect to where any sewer(main extensions occur,
could have significant growth inducing effects including potential annexation pressure.
Traffic
Keith Higgins-Traffic Engineer
Since potential land use changes(density and/or use)involved in the proposed USL changes have
not been accounted for in the Circulation Element update, the"worst-case''land use scenario will
be evaluated for trip increases and impacts on the road system. The analysis will be programmatic
and will not include intersection analysis. Mr. Higgins has prepared detailed intersection analyses
for the Santa Barbara Road freeway overcrossing as well as cumulative analysis for the
surrounding street system that can readily be referenced in this analysis.
000041
Atascadero General Plan Amendment EIR
sedes Proposal
Air Quality
Crawford Multari&Starr-Dave Moran
Trip generation data from the traffic analysis will be modeled using URBEMIS and emissions will
be compared to the Clean Air Plan thresholds for program-type actions. Generally, this threshold
is that percentage increase in ADT not exceed the projected population increases over the same
period. Analysis will not include CO modeling at intersections.
Public Services
sedes -David Foote
Cumulative impacts of the proposed changes upon water supply, wastewater disposal, solid waste
disposal, police and fire protection and schools will be addressed in this section using General
Plan baseline information and other existing reports.
Housing and Population
sedes -David Foote
This section will briefly outline the effect of potential land use changes on housing and
population. The analysis will identify possible effects of increased densities as well as the
potential for inducement to rezone property to commercial or industrial use.
Biological Resources
sedes -David Foote
sedes will consult the California Natural Diversity Data Base, the General Plan EIR and other
previous environmental documents to determine the likelihood of any state of federally listed
species occurring on the property. On-site biological assessment will not be performed. The
study will identify appropriate mitigation strategies to protect biological resources and will identify
where further environmental review is warranted
Drainage and Flooding
Jerry Michael,RCE,Tierra Engineering
At a general level,upstream and downstream constraints on Paloma Creek will be identified using
previous studies and field reconnaissance. The impact on upstream and downstream conveyances
resulting from floodway modifications on the Dove Creek property will be evaluated to establish
programmatic mitigation measures.
The eastern USL expansion area bounded by Halcon&Santa Barbara Roads is more complex and
problematic. Drainage conveyances across and along these roads are marginal to nonexistant.
The analysis will identify deficiencies and map improvement strategies.

Fiscal Impacts
•
Crawford Multari&Stan-Mike Multari and Dave Moran
CMS will perform the fiscal modeling for a cost/revenue impact analysis using the city model they
developed.
Economic Impacts
Crawford Multari&Stan-Mike Multari
The analysis of economic impacts to the downtown will be performed by CMS. The analysis will
focus on the Dove Creek property. As an optional task the east USL extension can be included
that would analyze a land use scenario that includes industrial uses (research park). Because
commercial and industrial land uses are enough different, the cost to add on',the east USL area is
greater than for most study topics (see Table A).
sedes recommends that the analysis of possible economic impacts on the downtown not be
included in the EIR. Economic impacts do not fit nicely in the CEQA framework. Controversy
around economic projections tends to be policy, not environment,oriented. We recommend that
this analysis be prepared separately,but parallel,to the EIR in a document th4 can stand alone and
be included in the overall discussion, and record, on the General Plan change. The fee estimate
includes one public meeting for CMS.
Finally, because CMS has been retained by the Port San Luis Harbor District in a capacity that
will be reviewing a proposal that sedes contributed to, we request that the work performed by
• CMS for the General Plan Change EIR and Economic Study be under a separate contract with the
City, and not as a subconsultant to sedes.
Please feel free to call me if I can provide clarification or more information. Thank you for
considering sedes for this work.
ncerely,
David F ASLk
